From the centre of Grigno, along the close biotope Fontanazzo, you reach Selva. From there you can ascend to the Marcesina Plateau. The ascent is marked by a series of curves. It is a difficult but gorgeous route. Some parts are along a cliff on the valley, which dominates Grigno from above and the underlying cycling path.
You are not allowed to come back along the same road, which is a one way road.
Then you continue along the road and reach the Barricata refuge. Here you travel along the provincial road which leads you to Enego and Primolano, along a gorgeous descent. You go back to the starting point along the Brenta river, along the Valsugana cycling path.
